    So LinenTablecloth  just had a really awesome 35% off sale for Black Friday... we ended up purchasing our tablecloths.  We purchased the 120' round satin tablecloths. 

    Now, I didn't even think about this - how the heck are we going to store/steam/transport the tablecloths to the reception?  We have a DOC, so she'll put them on the tables.  But she wouldn't have time to steam them.  I think I need to steam/iron them before and somehow transport them without folding them to the wedding. 

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    @jacinda10: I am in the same boat!  I also bought mine from LinenTableclothes Thanksgiving weekend.  They just came today!  I don't have any ideas yet, but I'm going to subscribe and hope someone gives you some good ideas!

    I should have waited to buy mine during the awesome sale.. BUT I didn't. I've had mine & I'm wondering the same thing. I have no clue what I'm going to do. Hopefully someone can help us!!

    we ironed ours because steaming was taking so long. At how we transported storded them took awhile to figure out. So we ended up cleaning of the round kitchen table and after we ironed them placed them of there one on top of the other. My Grandma then put a sheet over then to get them to the venue she folded them in half (still laying on one another) It seemed to work

    After ironing them out, could you lay down a sheet, lay them one on top of another, and then cover with another sheet? Then, roll them all around a large tube. That would avoid any creases and keep them clean, and also maybe make them easier to transport since they're rolled around a hard object rather than flopping all over.

    I would steam them and fold them onto hangers in plastic bags.  The wrinkles from being hung will fall out once they are on the tables.

    I have this issue too, I have the table cloths and over-lays and they are horrifically wrinkled. We may be having a ironing party a couple days before the wedding.
